It appears that the Filipino People don't want to be part of the Empire and fight back to very bloody results. The Japanese apply 32 hits which is greater than the 22 needed to eliminate the garrison. The Japanese take 16 hits which flips the Southern Expeditionary Army. (Go Rail Guns!) |

Perhaps a bug, perhaps the game is hard coded, but the Draw Cards command does not give an option to draw other than 5 cards. Because we should only draw two, I'll take the safe route and use the draw extra card command twice. |

Mhas agreed, so the US will draw cards and our staffs will now start working in parallel. |

Mark; I'd like to go ahead and draw the American's two cards and put the staff to discussing them. They've had enough of chatting about the big picture and are not very engaged by that. I think they need to have something to sink their teeth into..., something that gets them counting factors and hexes. What do you think? |

For the ACTS record. I miss read the Jpn orders. There was no ground combat at Clark Field. The main Jpn landing was due South of Aparri. The A/N attack did eliminate the 17th PG, however Clark Field remains in the hands of the Americans. |

Good beginnings make good games, so take the time needed. I have to get my head around the differences again myself, and for most players this will be a discovery journey. I'm not worried about it taking too long, I know we both like keeping the pace up. |
